You're NOT paying attention, John.


I've been crabbing about AOLNetscape, not "plug-in".


I want a goddam browser that WORKS; not the FREE CRAP that AOLN and 

MS throw out to everyone, with ONLY their own damned selfish 

*corporate* intentions in mind.


That's what I want.

BTW: Thinking of NOT betting on broadband? Duh.


Nice try, John.
